Set in one of Hunter Valley Wine Country’s most exclusive locations and offering uninterrupted views to the Barrington Tops, this spectacular estate is famous from the 2019 best-selling memoir Thirty Thousand Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga. Block Eight offers a cosy farmhouse and five beautifully appointed accommodation villas set among a boutique vineyard, olive grove and sparkling lakes. It is located two hours from Sydney and just minutes to restaurants, wineries and concert venues.
Each of the five luxuriously-appointed one bedroom villas are self-contained and have been impeccably designed to create the ultimate short-stay experience. The three bedroom house has recently been renovated and enjoys outstanding views over park like grounds to olive groves, the enormous dam at the property’s centre and to the vineyard beyond. With an expansive deck and covered porch, this makes the perfect weekender for you to sit and relax or could also be let for tourism.
The current owners have thought of everything and the accommodation which supplies considerable income can be outsourced to a management company leaving you to just enjoy your truly unique and remarkable property. The vineyard produces award-winning Semillon, Shiraz and Chardonnay wines.
